American Idol, itself, deserves ALL THE BLAME for a complete amateurish performer like Lazaro being in the top 3. It was a gimmicky move on their part even inviting him to Hollywood, because and only because he can sing clearly (though not even close to being good)while being a stutterer. I have nothing against him and he deserves props for persevering, but American ido has done both he and the viewing public a large disservice by PLACING him on the show. He will NEVER make good as a singer, and will NOT make it in the real entertainment world. I believe that a large part of the voting public are intentionally voting for him as a JOKE, realizing how they can manipulate the results. This may be the DEATHKNELL season of this show, as they might not be able to recover from the humiliation that will occur as he continues to be passed on.

Lazaro is this season's Vote for the Worst's Sanjaya and they were able to keep Sanjaya around much longer than he ever deserved to be. Kid ended up making money for a while after that, though. Have no idea what's become of him.

What's sad is that Lazaro was out to prove that someone with is disability who got bullied and made fun of could be successful and it's backfiring horribly.

AI can't control Vote for the Worst or people supporting Laz, but this isn't going to turn out well right now. It may settle down and, hopefully, he can get through the tour without flubbing the lyrics and they give him songs he can get out that aren't mutilated in the process.

On Facebook Laz had twice the supporters of Burnell. He's also got some people telling him he should drop out.
